A Lesson from n Little barefoot.

Mr. Matthew Arnold was greatly struck
Ivy this democratic government of our
reading room when he was in Boston.
He came IN hero one day and saw little
barefooted newsboy sitting in one Of the
best chairs of the reading room, enjoying
himself apparently FOR dear life. This
great essayist was completely astounded
'Do you lot barefooted boys in this read
ing rooms" he asked "You would
never see sHch sight as that in Europe.
/ do not believe there is reading room
IN all Europe in which that boy, dressed
as be is, would enter" Then Mr.. Arnold
went over to the boy, engaged him in
conversation, and found that he was
reading the "Life of Washington, and
that he was young gentleman of de-
cidedly anti British tendencies, and for
his age, remarkably well informed.
Mr.. Arnold remained talking with the
youngster for some time, and as he came
back to our desk the great Englishman
said: 81 do not think / have been so
impressed with anything else that have
seen since arriving in this country as l
am now with meeting this barefooted boy
in this reading room. What tribute to
democratic institutions it is to say that
instead of sending that boy out to wan
der alone in the streets, they permit him
to come in here and excite his youthful
imagination by reading such book as
the Life of Washington The reading
of that one book may change the whole
course of that boys life, and may be the
means of making him a useful, honor
able, worthy citizen of this great country.
1t is, tell you, sight that impresses

cratic ways. Boston Herald.

The "Chestnut" idiot.

There is one man OH my list who never
would be missed, and that's the man
who shouts "chestnuts' every time n
man tells story, Or even when he makes
a quotation. In the first place the man
who says "chestnuts" is generally fel-
low who never tells story himself, or,
il he does, il is something from a way
back in the twilight of fable. Now,
sleeping is chestnut, and SO is eating
and thinking, but they're good all the
same. Shakespeare is chestnut, and so
is Dickens and Lytton, but these fellows
who yell it at them don't do anything as
good. The old things are good and sound;
they've been tried. The chestnut idiot
yells his favorite word even when a man
tells something brand new, and in this
displays an impertinence and desire to
be considered ahead of his fellows, which
are despicable characteristics. and calcu-
lated 10 destroy all pleasure in social in
tercourse. Ben Enney in Globe-Demo-

Cured of Hero Worship,

When Herbert Spencer was in this
country q certain workingman admirer,
who had acquired an intense hero wor-
ship of him, followed him many miles in
order to enjoy the supreme honor of rec
ognition and grasp of the hand. He
finally succeeded in surprising him among
the Vermont hills and entered the parlor
of his hotel while the nurse was absent.
"Haye | the honor at last of greeting Her.
bert Spencer?'' said he. ''That is nv
name - was the severe English reply. 81
consider you the chief Of human bene.ac-
tors" continued the man, 'and all the
more do congratulate you, now that our
American publishers are able to produce
such cheap editions of your grand books
that they are reaching the humble homes
of the poor, where they were formerly
strangers. but what becomes of the
poor writer?n shouted Mr.. Spencer as he
arose in rage and turned upon his visitor.
At this point the nurse rushed in and
elected the poor workingman, who, as he
descended. the back stairs, was followed
by savage echoes Of "Piratesl Piratesr"
His hero had fallen with crash and he
wondered in his disappointment and cha
grin if there was anything left in this

Oldest Crcmationists on Earth.

alaskan Indians are perhaps the oldest
race of cremationists on the face of the
earth. All their dead, except their medi-
cine men, are burned. The crematory is
very simple, yet nevertheless, effective.
When corpse is to be cremated, it is first
removed from the house through the hole
in the roof, or through an aperture made
in one of the walls by removing log, lit
is bad luck to carry it out through the
door and carried to funeral pyre Of
wood built in the form of hollow rect
angle, measuring four feet long, four feet
wide, and from three to six feet in depth.
The corpse is bundled into the pyre, which
is then lighted. Dry cord wood is then
thrown in on top of the corpse until the
opening is filed. The relatives sit around
the burning pile four or five hours until
everything is consumed. The cremation
is always complete. The ashes of the
dead man, and of course more or less
wood ashes, are gathered up, placed in q
wooden box and carried to little grave
house, as it is called ''-Lieut. II. T..

Chart of Derelict Vessels

Another most important characteristic
of the chart is the attention which is given
to the positions of wrecked vessels. After
q vessel has been abandoned You know it
seldom goes directly to the bottom. Al
most submerged such "derelicts," as they
have been called, will remain afloat for
months. After the masts have disap-
peared there is seldom anything to indi-
cate to approaching vessels that such q
dangerous obstruction is in their paths.
A collision with one Of these waterlogged
wrecks would simply mean instant de-
struction. So the photographic office re-
quests each vessel to notify it Of the loca-
ton of these ''derehcts." Their positions
are then given in the monthly chart, and
captains can be on the lookout and avoid
them. May chart is dotted with such OBJ
StructiOnS.
have traced on these maps the course
OK derelict for months. One in particu-
Lar l remember. The schooner Twenty
one Friends was wrecked just off the Del
aware capes last spring, two years ago.
She drifted out into the gulf stream, was
carried clear across to Ireland, and then
being blown by the wind out of the inf1u-
ence of that ocean current, was carried
toward the coast of Spain, where it was
lost. / doubt not but that it formed fire
wood for some of the Spaniards along the
coast. Being lumber laden they must
have secured q prize indeed. There are
other interesting things which might be
told about the photographic chart, but
there isn't enough space here.-Observer

The Manufacture of Ribbons.


1t is known that the manufacture of
hDbonS was fairly established in ST. Eli
enne, france, in the eleventh century, and
ftnat the place remains to this day the
principal center of the industry. During
sne persecution of the Huguenots in that
country many OF the st. Etienne oper-
auves went to Basic, Switzerland, and es-
-taonshed the industry there, where it be-
came second only to St. Etienne. The
thlrd most important center was Coven-
Try, Eng, but Crefeld and Vienna are
also large producing centers. To-day
there are manufactured in the United
States quite as many ribbons as are made
in st. Etienne. The product of Switzer.
Land consists. mainly of plain styles; that
of France largely of fine and fancy milli-
merry goods; that of CrefeA mainly of
black silk and black velvet ribbons, the
latter speciality; that of England largely
OF plain goods; while the United States
tries everything with much success,
though dependent chiefly upon Europe for
the lead in styles.
1t is a curious fact that for 500 years
ribbons were worn mostly by men rather
than by women, especially during the
long period OF effeminacy in the male at
tire. In the fifteenth to the seventeenth
centuries their use in England was re-
,stricted to the royalty and gentry by
statute. In the time of Charles III and
James III the whole attire was covered
With ribbons. A fop in those days was
described as wearing more than would
took half dozen shops or twenty coun-
Try peddlers." 1t is another curious fact
That in the manufacture of ribbons the
self acting loom was in use 100 years be-
fore Cartwright's invention, and that in
more recent times little new has been
added in that branch of the silk industry.

10 save Drowning Horses.

A Bangor ice man says that they never
take horse on the ice without tying q
rope around his neck, so that if he gets
into the water the rope may be frightened
and the animal choked. The strangled
horse at once puffs up and rises to the
surface, and is then usually pulled out
without much trouble, and when he is
well away from the hole the moose is
loosened and he gets his wind again. A
few hours hard work generally warns the
chilled horse thoroughly, and he is none
the worse for his cold bath Philadelphia

4 Priest with n Mustache.

At the opening of the church AT Cannes,
built III memory of the late duke of Al
bany, the priest who read the lessons wore
a mustache. The prince of Wales, to
whom he was introduced, observing the
hirsute appendage to the clerical upper
lip, suggested that the ornament should be
removed. The suggestion was carried
out. The royal rebuke of a modern Gus
tom which some persons have adopted of
wearing Il mustache or shaving either
cheek or chin or both is commendable. a
